One of the first things which ought to be
done is to induce the Erie people to build

through Springfield. from Shattuc on the
the north east. 10 Durbin, on the west. This
is greatly needed. The convenience and
facilities of shippers-to say nothing of
passengers would be greatly promoted. We
want the Erie people in here on track Of

The legislature of Ohio has enacted q
statute by the application of the provisions
of which the people of the state can secure
pure food. The protection against adulter-
alton is complete. Not only is the law
ample in its provisions. but food commits
sioners have been appointed. and We are
glad to know that they are active and vigi-
liant. Not long since Commissioner Hirst
found samples of maple syrup in this
city that were largely composed Of
glucose. Now glucose may not he poison
Gus. We do not know if il is, or to what
extent it is unwholesome. but il is certain
that il is not maple syrup and the act of
selling it as such is fraudulent IL grocers
will advertise a mixture of maple and glu-
cose and sell it as such, at price To CORE
spond with its merit, then nobody will have
a right I" complain. But there are adul-
terationS in numerous other articles of food.
Commercial, that Hon. John J. Geghan. of
Cincinnati. assistant food commissioner.
has been looking about in the future great
commercial metropolis, and that he has dis
covered-aS was discovered here - that
some samples of maple syrup contain "A
per cent. of glucose; that the celebrated
Bee Line fraud has IS per cent. of this
''Stuff" in every tub that is sold. Then as
been radically and scientifically treated
in the advertising columns of the Re-
PUBLIC y we may say that Commits
sioner Geghan finds that "a large quantity
Of alum is used in the manufacture of some
powders" and that physicians say that the
eating of alum in bread or biscuits is injri-
rious to the health. Mr.. Geghan reports
finding large quantities of bogus cider
vinegar, So called. and has had the labels
on the barrels changed TO correspond with
the real character of the contents. I'm
Cincinnati" Mr.. Geghan says. ''stale beeI
and corn Sleps are used 10 make vinegar.
What do our readers think of that? We
warn then TO make sure of what
their vinegar is composed before they
buy it. If food commission
Is not within reach. let Mr.. Virgil Cob
lentz be consulted. II grocers would apply
to Mr.. Cohlentz and put his certificate on
their packages of goods To the effect thai
they were genuine, neither they nor theiI
customers would make any mistake. The
adulterator is not true: the retail grocer
buys his goods of the wholesale dealer.
who buys in turn from the manufacturer.
Therefore the grocer should demand
that the goods he buys of the
manufacturer should be pure.
There is one fact to be considered in con-
nection with all this. and that is that many
people do not themselves wish pure goods:
or rather they are so anxious for. and so IN
variably, call for and haggle for cheap
goods. that adulteration is employed Ia
meet their demands. Pure and good food
products are worth more in the market than
adulteratcd products. Usually, they are not
low priced; for honest manufacturers can
not put their goods on the market at the
same prices which are asked by the adulter-
ators for their bogus and poisoned goods.
